As a consequence, the borough had no single point of remembrance for those who died during the Great War. Indeed, a list of those souls local to the area who surrendered their lives in defence of our country was not in existence. The Council became aware that Charles O’Donnell had, for some years, been researching the information contained on the various war memorials in the area. When approached, Charles kindly agreed to develop a specific list of those soldiers who were born in and/or lived in South Ribble and died as a consequence of the First World War. As part of the Council’s suite of events to commemorate the Great War It was decided to create a significant memorial prominently positioned and central to the borough. The location chosen was Dandy Brook Park in Lostock Hall near to the roundabout at the southern end of Watkin Lane. Included in the memorial were to be the names of the fallen compiled by Charles. The memorial, recently installed, is 8m in diameter, semi-circular in plan and rises from 4m to 9m in height. The steel frame is clad in Cor-ten steel which is designed to rust evenly. Once the outer coating of rust is formed the remainder of the steel plate is protected from further rusting. An image of a soldier in repose, 5m high, is cut into the centre and a traditional poppy is attached. When viewed from within the park the names of the fallen can be seen, these are laser cut into the plate and backed with stainless steel. Within the park a peace garden is being formed. The garden is intended as a place for quiet reflection and contains a simple grassed lawn flanked by beds of sensory planting. The area is shielded from the rest of the park by a recreation of a WW1 trench wall made up of H section steel posts supporting oak sleepers and topped with sand bags (these sand bags contain concrete and are protected by a steel wire gabions). To the wall will be attached a plaque listing, in alphabetical order, the names of the fallen and 4 South Ribble WW1 Memorial - 2018 Review showing the date of death and service number. It is thought this information could form the basis of further research by the community. Further works are ongoing to link the memorial and peace garden, through the park, to St Catherine’s Hospice. New paths are being created and a new bridge will be installed to cross the River Lostock. The bridge will be based on a design commissioned at the start of WW1 and developed in 1915 by Charles Inglis. Steve Barritt, South Ribble Borough Council (retired) 2015 – Initial Research When I first set out to publish the work that was to become South Ribble in the Great War back in 2012, I had no idea that a permanent memorial would be planned for the area and that I would have a major role in piecing together the names for that memorial. I had begun by making a survey of all the memorials in the local towns and villages and compiled these into an offline database. The next step was to find the basic details of the men by using various online resources such as the Commonwealth War Graves website and military sources via Ancestry UK. Steve Barritt from South Ribble Council became aware of my work through the auspices of David Hunt at the South Ribble Museum and exhibition centre. I had visited David as he is the custodian of the Wesleyan WW1 memorial. Steve had compiled a basic list by using the publication 'Soldiers Died in the Great War' via Ancestry UK. A basic search using place names by Steve and myself yielded a number of new names that have not previously been on memorials in the local area. I added these to my ever-growing database and had to whittle it down to men who were born or who had lived (or both) in the local towns and villages. This stage involved the use of civilian records such as Births, Marriages and Deaths and the 1911 Census. I have also been lucky enough to have been allowed access to the work of other researchers in the area. In particular I need to mention Bill Waring of Leyland Historical Society who started his research in the 1990s, Jim Rawcliffe for Brownedge & Bamber 5 South Ribble WW1 Memorial - 2018 Review Bridge, Sarah Yates for Higher Walton, Bill Brierley for Lostock Hall, Helen Howell for Walton-le-Dale, Teresa Taylor for Samlesbury & Roach Bridge, Steve Barritt of South Ribble Council and Heather Crook for Penwortham and the western parishes. The final stage was to quality assure the list I was putting out. The aforementioned Bill Brierley and Sarah Yates together with Stan Grosvenor M.A. of the Western Front Association verified the names and I am indebted to them. Stan in particular has been a great source of information and inspiration and we have chewed the fat many times over a few pints at The Gables in Leyland. There

  • South Ribble Borough Council
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SOUTH RIBBLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 1 Electoral Review of South Ribble Borough Council Introduction Each year, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England audits the levels of electoral imbalances arising in each English local authority area in order to establish whether there is a need for an electoral review. Imbalances can arise from changing demographics and new developments, and movement of electors between local authority areas, as well as within individual areas. There are two elements that the Commission takes into account when assessing the need for an electoral review. Both relate to the level of electoral representation within a local authority area. Electoral inequality exists when voters are either over-represented or under-represented by their local councillor(s) in relation to average levels of representation for the authority as a whole. Under the criteria adopted by the Commission, if either of the following conditions is found to exist, then consideration is given to the need for a review: • Any local authority with a division or ward that has an electoral variance in excess of 30%. This means a division or ward having at least 30% more (or less) electors in it than the average for the authority as a whole; and/or • Any local authority where more than 30% of the divisions or wards have an electoral variance in excess of 10% from the average for that authority. On the basis of the latest data available, our authority appears to meet the selection criteria, with 9 of our 27 wards (33%) having an electoral variance in excess of 10%.

  • A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham
    A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St.
